They all looked about the same size to me! I do know this is not the small series and it uses the same bags as the S5 Series. |

Don't despair-sometimes the doll sized brush is handy for small spaces and --detailing the car!And it works on electronic gear. |

I think Meile should include the full size dusting tool along with the smaller one.Esp on the higher priced machines. |

Tell me about it! Miele UK are confusing to say the least, not helped by special "exclusive" versions that have an extra price added on because of the colour and a confusing model line up judged by the number variations. The white S2 shown here is an exclusive colour in the UK alongside the dark grey version and all we get are suction only heads and fixed height twin tubes that are smaller in height than the "standard" telescopic height adjustable ones. Buyers are strangely then pushed to spend more on the S6 which is supposed to be the new "S4" because it has a smaller body and a small dust bag - but when you've got the S2 with the bigger bags, sometimes it's a no-brainer until you get the machine out of the box and realise where Miele have been stingy.
Of course buyers who don't know any different without researching won't know this. |

Miele makes an excellent vacuum and while they are expensive, after having owned three I have found them to be well made and able to tolerate abuse, such as a housekeeper. From my own use I’ve found them to be one of the best high-end modern canisters available. And, Miele vacuums are also much more readily available than some of their “supposed” DTD competitors, as they have even been selling Miele vacs and bags in the two different Bloomingdale’s by me for the past 3+ years. Even Williams-Sonoma carries their own special models of Miele machines. |

Well from my own experience Miele vacuums are good - to a point. I much prefer the older canisters even though they come with the FJM bag size as standard. S500, S300 - they're virtually indestructible = from a domestic point of view and the only downside is that they are heavy. In the UK Comet have started to re-sell older cylinder vacs from Miele but at a price, often being more expensive now when at a time before our recession hit, they were more sensibly priced, before the onslaught of the S2 and half way between the S4 series when it was on sale. |

The new stainless steel wands have the electric on the outside of the tubing, supposedly creating more airflow. At least that is what I was told. I actually can't tell much difference if any with the air flow. I prefer the lighter weight one myself. Maybe others here have more information on this. I would be interested to know as well.

Grey tubes? I've never seen those - the demo machines in the UK at Comet, John Lewis etc all come with the default stainless steel tubes - and yes, I agree, they are pretty heavy. Even Sebo's D series all s/s similar tubes are slightly lighter and not much of a struggle.
I have used lighter aluminium Bosch tubes before with my Miele S6 in order to make performance lighter but it soon becomes clear why a locking tube is so much more important - friction fit tubes are what Bosch always fit and are the same size as Miele, often allowing you to use the better well thought smaller cleaning tools- but when it comes to the floor heads they have a tendency to slide off or become loose as there is corresponding lock catch. |

Miele Capricorn and I feel the same way about the machine .
When and only when I use my Rainbow or any other water vacuum is the dust problem under control to barely zero dust . Most bagged machines smell as well as bagless . Nothing like a fresh water bath clean air dust free home . I also have the Miele S7 Upright Salsa its a great upright but it really smells and I use the charcoal hepa filter and I have no idea why it smells so much . My Kirby Sentria has only a very slight odor that you can barely smell so I have no idea what is up with Miele . My Tri Star , Filter Queen , Aerus , Vortech force , and Orecks also smell very little or not at all . |
